Hi JP, that's a misprint in the article, twice "2000". Googled and found a bunch of news for instance Oct. 7 in Science Daily: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081007102853.htm

Yes
 Life of All Sizes Use Same Energy, Pound for Pound If energy is the currency of life, biologists are closing in on the cost of living. No matter whether you're talking elephants or a bacteria, a new study proposes that, pound for pound, all living things' at-rest metabolisms use close to the same amount of energy. "Our interpretation is that there aren't very many accidents in nature, so it's not just a coincidence that all these different organisms fall within this narrow window," said Peter Reich, an ecologist at the University of Minnesota, and a co-author of the work. "That suggests that natural selection selects for this range." |
